Yeah, so if it isn't the truth, that means then that you are telling lies. And you are telling me that telling lies is the best way to live? How does that settle in with the best way to live?
I wonder how they would react to that one?

"Even if it isn't the truth, it's still the best way to live"
by Simon inhave you heard that old chestnut?
i have.. typically it's the last resort when you have dismantled a jws beliefs and they have no way of defending them.
they know they are beat so they come out with that one.. its effectively an admission that you are right and they have no argument but they are still going to attend meetings because they like the social club.. what a lame way to defend your faith..

Volunteer workers pushed to renounce to their social rights
by sp74bb insurprisingly in spain, a large quantity of bethel volunteers (nice to words to say workers) have received their letter telling they are not anymore required.
in this country, government obliged bethel to give social rights such as basic social security (doctors, etc..) to the volunteers as they understand that it is a business relationship.. all of them have been pushed to sign a letter stating they renounce to their work and then go outside bethel with not a single right (unemployment, etc...).
it is really unfortunately but silly from bethel office to arrange it this way.

Evolution, Critical Thinking, and Other Things the JWs Never Told Me
by David_Jay inafter reading several threads on the topics of evolution and theism, i thought i would share what happens to you when you go to college and get a real education on things: you learn that some of the arguments and stands of jehovah's witnesses are moot to begin with.
i never double-checked the "modus operandi" about many things, and boy, did i have some real learning to do.. for instance, why are jehovah's witnesses so against evolution?
it only proves their point.

Excellent post. You put a lot a thought into it, obviously. I agree with it as well. Too bad for Watchtower and all their ways, they will never see it. -

The Retractable Dangling Carrot
by TMS insome scattered thoughts about the granting or denial of privileges of service as a control mechanism:.
this method of persuasion involving reward or punishment is so deeply ingrained in watchtower function, it is second nature.
although sometimes subtle, sometimes blatant, everyone from new bible study to traveling overseer is subconsciously aware of the possible limiting of his official opportunities to serve god and his brothers.. .

Very important, you must save JWs from dieing at Armageddon!
by Crazyguy inevery drop of breast milk has roughly 1 million white blood cells in it.
so the next time you see a jw drink milk or eating milk with his cereal etc.
you must run over and take it out of his/her hands and then give them a stern warning.

I noticed that on the letterhead it's dated January 18th and today it the 16th. I've never seen an organization post date a letter before. I have worked in corporate America for a fortune 500 company and never seen this. I wonder why they feel a need to do this. -

You should write short stories. I know this was your real experience and all, but your manner of writing and style is really good. -

Public or Group Prayer As A Weapon
by TMS inone of the sillier notions taught at km schools is the concept of "teaching through prayer.
" the idea is that words supposedly directed to jehovah god through christ jesus are actually aimed at individuals who are in a position to say "amen" to the supplication.
for example, in a judicial setting brother pompous opens the hearing in prayer: "dear jehovah, we ask your blessing on this arrangement.

I keep thinking that I am 100% awake, and then I read something like this, that elders actually do that. I never knew. It blows my mind. Those sons of b*tches. When you are supposed to be praying, that's what's you are supposed to be doing, praying. NOT, working out your agenda!
I will never hear another prayer the same ever. I only go the kingdom hall anyway because of my in wife, but all the same, when someone prays to God it should be true, but hey, who am I kiddin'. I should have known all along.

OK, you are right. I just researched this online. "Blood Cells: The USDA allows up to 1.5 million white blood cells per milliliter of commonly-sold milk."
